अस्माकं मित्रावरुणावतं रथमादित्यै रुद्रैर्वसुभिः सचाभुवा । प्र यद्वयो न पप्तन्वस्मनस्परि श्रवस्यवो हृषीवन्तो वनर्षदः ॥
Transliteration
asmā́kaṃ mitrā́varuṇā́vataṃ rátham ādityái rudráir vásubhiḥ sacā́bhuvā́ | prá yád váyo ná paptán vásmanaḥ pári śravasyávo hṛ́ṣīvanto vana-ṛ́sadaḥ ||
Translation
ಹೇ ಮಿತ್ರ-ವರುಣರೇ! ನಮ್ಮಿಗಾಗಿ ಯಾತ್ರೆಯ ರಥವನ್ನು ಧರಿಸಿರಿ—ಏಕಸಮ್ಮತವಾಗಿ ಚಲಿಸುವ ಆದಿತ್ಯರು, ರುದ್ರರು ಮತ್ತು ವಸುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರವಸ್ಯವನ್ನು ಬಯಸುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಗೂಡಿನ ಸುತ್ತ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳಂತೆ ಹಾರಿಬಂದು ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಜಿಗಿಯುವಾಗ, ಅವು ಪ್ರಾಣಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಆನಂದದಿಂದ ಹರ್ಷಿಸಿ ವಿಶಾಲ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸನಗ್ರಹಣ ಮಾಡಲಿ.
